The Epiphany of Pain
Imaging the first devastation
Never imaging something so impactful
Powerful words rattling my psyche
Humbled by a chance opportunity
To be the chosen few
Nothing prepared us
for what lay ahead
Manhood, shining in the thunderous rain
The Epiphany of Pain
If we could yet awake from that dream
Could not fathom the reality of things
The physical challenges awaited us
Mentally we were barely off of empty
Linked in friendship kept our resiliency
Rolling one after another
Scholarship, massacred into our brain
The Epiphany of Pain
Illogically slowly accepting this fate
Engulfed with idealistic thoughts
Walking bridges others have taught
Pursuing obstacles with a dogmatic view
Listening to truths spoken by twisted knaves
Realizing the crystal stair ancestors had to bare
Perseverance, grinding to become insane
The Epiphany of Pain
Accepting the fallacy of all I hold dear
There was but six standing there
Climbing through the the darkest night
Shoulder to shoulder, days to night
Rebuilt in the shadow of KAOS hard ways
Souls combined into the Kaotix 6ix
Uplift, birthed in the hardest of ways
